Do you have to do any pupil response or any thing like walking on a straight line?

[@NextLaw]

Good question. You would need to follow the direction of the Police officers at the checkpoint, who may ask you to perform a Standardized Field Sobriety Test. This test may include walking in a straight line, stand/turn, etc. Thank you.

@@NextLaw thank you for the video.
I thought that only doing a breath test is only required by law.

[@PeanutButter-19]

Is it the law, that you must do any test beyond a breath test?

[@LilSplashPad]

@@PeanutButter-19 yes, a officer can legally request a standard field sobriety test, drug recognition evaluation or oral fluid testing.
If you refuse a field sobriety test it bears the same consequences as declining a breath sample.

Do you have the right to remain silent when stopped at a check point?

[@NextLaw]

Great question, thanks! -- In Canada, individuals have a constitutionally protected right to remain silent when questioned by police, with some exceptions. They must provide their name, address, and date of birth if arrested, and show license, registration, and insurance if driving. While they cannot lie to police, they are not obligated to provide any statement, and their silence cannot be used as evidence of guilt in court.

@@NextLaw Thanks for the reply. So if I am stopped at a RIDE, I can say "I am exercising my right to be silent" and they will let me go?
